twilitegxa Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I want to write an if/else statement that checks the value of a field named "primary_attack" and if it is "1", then this calculation is done: $sub_attribute_names_points * $attack_level (I have this currently in my statement) The part I need to add is this: If "secondary attack" = 1, $attack points = 2 If both "primary_attack" and "secondary_attack" = 0, $attack_points = 1 How can I write this if statement? Here is my current code: //gather attacks $get_attacks = "select * from attacks where identity = '$identity' order by level desc"; $get_attacks_res = mysql_query($get_attacks, $conn) or die(mysql_error()); while ($attacks_info = mysql_fetch_array($get_attacks_res)) { $attack_id = $attacks_info['id']; $attack_identity = $attacks_info['identity']; $attack = $attacks_info['attack']; $primary = $attacks_info['primary_attack']; $secondary = $attacks_info['secondary_attack']; $attack_level = $attacks_info['level']; $attack_points = ($sub_attribute_names_points * $attack_level); $display_block .= " <tr> <td class=indent>$sub_attribute_names_attribute</td>"; if ($sub_attribute_names_attribute == 'Sailor Scout Attack') { $display_block .= " <tr> <td class=indent2>- $attack</td> <td class=align_levels>$attack_level</td> <td class=align_levels>$attack_points</td> </tr> <tr>"; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 How can I write this if statement? In almost the same way as you explained it if "secondary attack" = 1, $attack points = 2 If both "primary_attack" and "secondary_attack" = 0, $attack_points = 1 if($secondary == 1) $attack_points = 2; elseif($primary == 0 && $secondary == 0) $attack_points = 1; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilitegxa Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thank you! Tried writing it similar to what you wrote, but I had something wrong. I'm still learning how to do if/else statements! I had || instead of && for one thing, and I didn't have elseif, I had else if. I basically had it written like this: if ($secondary == '1') { $attack_points = '2' } else if ($primary == '0' || $secondary == '0') { $attack_points = '1' } else { $attack_points = ($sub_attribute_names_points * $attack_level); } See, my logic was a little off. Hopefully with more practice, I will start to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
